As an investor and brand ambassador, Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty has partnered with the online skill tech learning platform Hunar Online Courses. The portal provides training in subjects including fashion, cooking, beauty, and photography.

According to a statement from the company, Hunar hopes to leverage this collaboration to solidify and extend its products, which include a comprehensive and outcome-focused learning experience, community building and use, options for gigs and work-from-home tasks, and business potential for its users.

According to the statement, by 2023, this alliance will provide 1 lakh Indian women with greater job possibilities and financial independence.

In addition to hosting its own fashion show since its establishment in 2018, Hunar has also worked with ITC Aashirvaad Atta and Naturals Salon.

Over 20 lakh female users of Hunar Online Courses are aspiring micro- or solopreneurs.

A micropreneur is an entrepreneur that manages their own sales and marketing and runs a very tiny business, or an entrepreneur who has no more than five direct reports. Entrepreneurs that handle everything on their own are known as solopreneurs.

Nishtha Yogesh, founder, and CEO of Hunar Online Courses, commented on the collaboration, saying, "India has the ability to exponentially increase its GDP when India's women are given the ideal platform to learn, grow, and earn an income. Women want to be financially independent and have their abilities recognised, but they do not have easy access to learning or employment possibilities.

As a self-sufficient woman, Shetty stated, "I feel that having a personal source of income and being financially independent are vital for the woman, her family, and the country."
